Chuckles Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Chuckles are you reffering to W's 8 or Clinton's 8? This is the kind of ambiguity that can happen when you try to post a picture from tripod... fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishweewee Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 We had 8 years of cheerleading and failure to directly address what was inevitably coming... speaking purely in terms of keynesian priorities here. while it is interesting that BHO is being obvious (the fact that things suck is pretty intuitive for a lot of people at this point) ... speaking of doom and gloom, while setting expectations, scares people away from spending money. keynesians don't like that.

fishweewee Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 of course, i believe that an economy based on consumers spending themselves silly (such that it is 2/3 of the economy) is a house of cards waiting to collapse. oh wait, it already collapsed. but i digress.

Cantilever Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 It makes sense. If I was President I would talk about how bad things were in the begining to get everything down as low as it will get. Then when people start to disapprove of the Presidents job you talk about how things are starting to get better. For now at least everything bad it still attached to Bush....Obama will probably ride that train as long as he can. As far as the country is concerned he has a very high approval rating.... He's probably playing this all perfectly... I just wish all these politicians would stop the games already.....Too bad its been going on forever and probably wont stop anytime soon. At best we can hope Obama tones the games down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
younger1955 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 maybe the market reflects REAL value in companies right now, and not bloated optimism. Very possibly true, and the reason I will say that yesterday was "The Bottom." We go up from here. Call me Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
